BHL 1.7.9

bhl is a text formatting and publishing tool. It is an Emacs mode that provides two kinds of tools: tools for editing a plain text file as an implicitly structured document, and tools for converting this document into other formats: HTML, SGML, LaTeX, Texinfo and TXT. In order to be readable by bhl, a plain text file must fit some syntactic conventions. This conventions are neither completely universal nor specially odd. They are chosen among the most useful and the most convenient text formatting conventions. The purpose of this mode is to use the most invisible and convenient syntax. "Invisible syntax" means that the source file must be as readable as possible -- like any plain text file must be. "Convenient syntax" means that it must fit the users habits. For example, *word* appears in bold; _word_ appears in emphasis; lists and URLs follow StructuredText or Wiki conventions; the numbering of sections respects logic and intuition. (See section 3. The syntax.) In short: there is nothing you have to learn to write your documents with the bhl mode (just try, its true). bhl is not WYSIWYG since you are only editing text. bhl is not WYSIWYM (like LyX), since what you mean is editing text. So, what is bhl? It is WYSIWYS(IWYS): What You See Is What You See (Is What You See). Editing text is editing text..
